PROSPECTUS.

(a) The recent remarkable developments in building in this Colony have resulted in a demand for labour and building materials that has been unprecedented. Increased costs, consequent upon such demand, necessitate the adoption, where possible, of metas whereby not only may labour be saved but untorials produced both quickly and economically. This Company is formed mainly for the purpose of providing plaster und gypsum products which are required in the construction of every building from the small house to the largest block of modern offices. "Simplex Plaster," which the Company proposes to manufacture in this Calony, is manufactured by a special process, and is at present only obtainable froin abroad, and the Promoters are confident that it can be manufactured here and sold for a price considerably below that which the commodity commanda in Hongkong at the prosent time. This pluster is now extensively used in building in this Colony, and is in fact, as experience has shown, extremely beneficial in the Far East und particularly in Hongkong, for it is impervious to white ants, does not chip owing to damp, and is practically fireproof, remaining unbroken and unaffected by hent unless of a temperature of 250 to 300 degrees contigrade.

(b) The Company has acquired as a going concern that branch of the msiness of The Chin American Industrial Developing Com- pany, Limited, which has been engaged in the manufacture of Simplex Plaster.' The purchso includes a piece of land of an approximate area of 41,000 square feet situate at T'sun Wan, together with the buildings, plant, machinery and equipment thereon, the machinery being already assembled for the commencement of manu- facture. The purchase price will be paid and satisfied by the allot- ment to The Chino American Industrial Developing Company, Limited, of 15,000 shares of the Company credited us fully paid up. Furthermore the agreement with tlie Vendors provides that the

Indoors or out, always carry a bottin of Peps with you.

THE SURE way to keep infeast, paeumonia and other deadly Jung trouble at bay, is to dissolve a Peps tablet in your math at the first apeezeer shiver. As the Pepa medicine la breathed in, is
